Two of a Kind

These grey jays were checking out if the dirt left on ski/snowshoe tracks was edible. I waited at one particular spot they had just visited. Soon they returned and did not seem to mind my presence the few seconds they were there. The snow in the foreground is not as pristine as a result of the foot impressions. Slightly increased the exposure and opened up the shadows while processing.

Pretty cool, Anand

I really like the surroundings. Nice work on the whites too.

Very well seen Anand, great capture and use of a smaller lens. If you have a little more room on top I would include it.

I am surprised at the few comments on this one. I like the dof you used showing the mountain in the bg. The whole image shows the stark, tough conditions these birds are living in. This is a very different kind of bird photo and I like it. Sharon
